Well the title may not be completely true but in my case the birth of my daughter was the best and worst turning point in my life and yes ladies you guessed it I'm a fella. Sex in a relationship is i'm sure most people will agree a major factor in being happy and having a healthy relationship but after we had my daughter my partner did not want me near her and that really put a strain on our relationship even though I understood why she did not want to after all it can't be the first thing on your mind after going through something as traumatic as childbirth. I never dared go near her for about six months after my daughter was born because she had a bad birth but when we did try it was a no go and she said that since my daughter had been born not only had she gone off it but had gone off me which was very upsetting and that was the start of the end of our relationship. I am not saying that it will be like this with all relationships and I hope if your are expecting it is not like this for you but any bloke out there who's partner is expecting don't rush it and try to be patient otherwise this really could put a major strain on your relationship. I have been told by female friends who have had children that it took them about 6-8 months before they would even think about it and that it is never the same after childbirth. Being present at the birth did not put me off sex with my partner so if you are worried that seeing the birth will effect your relationship please talk about it and decide what is best who knows my ex-partner would not talk to me about reasons and so on and I never pushed it as I thought that to leave it down to her was best but the subject must be tackled even talked about before the child comes. I still yearned for sex with my partner and in general but it really was a no go and I stuck to that without any disscussion and who knows sex may have played a part in us splitting u
p but talking about sex and it's implications should not be treated as a taboo because it is such a big part of being together and happy. I have had a drink and probably should not be writing this but what the hell if it saves one relationship it will have been worth it.

- 09/12/01 My sympathy barry and kim below who's situation sounds awful. I know it's tough after having a child, my hubby and I suffered for 2 years after my first was born because of the way I tore made it painful. But....I was always honest about my reasons and I think this helped, though not enough to rectify inevitable bad-feeling. Some people get through it, we did and though it's an enormous strain on relationships, your little one is worth it, even if it didn't work out, wish you happiness in the future. |

- 25/11/01 It might interest you to know that men can be just as bad. I had a still birth some years ago. Baby had been dead inside me for 3 weeks before we found out. We had sex just before we found out. He has refused to have full sex ever since, saying I had been a human coffin and he had been near it. He would do other things but never go all the way. I have put up with this for 11 years. It was also a bad delivery.This was 11 years ago. It isn't always women! I hope things are working out for you.Kim |

- 25/11/01 Damn right, women don't seem to realise this is probably the best way for any man to show his partner how much he cares. It's more fun than talking aswell. |
